I've had it! I'm sick of looking in the forums here and seeing citations from Newsmax, Drudge, and Fox. When are you people going to figure out that (a) most of that shit is propaganda and (b) all of it is skewed toward the right-wing drones who just want to hear about how evil leeeeebruls are.

Yet, every day, someone feels the need to post something from Newsmax, or Drudge, or whatever.

There is an enormous links section on DU that goes to many, many, news sites. Hell, even mainstream media (CNN, NYT, whatever) would be better. By going to these right-wing-whacknut sites all you are doing is making their hit counter go up and giving them free publicity.

Since I'm sure there will be plenty who will start whining about me being a thread fascist or something, please go ahead and do so. It's funny.

I think that the only thing to be gotten from a right wing "news" source is annoyance. I getplenty of that without looking for it. If we want to know what the right wingers are thinking, and I use thinking VERY loosely, the "mainstream media will be only to happy to let us know.

I beleive that citing them, even to show how full of s*** they are, only further "legitamizes them. Good people disagree with me. That's ok. It's still a (relatively) free country.
